Hope there's nothing wrong with me Snow, but I particularly like the bits about scavenging from the dead Prado, even though that must have been unfortunate for you.....

The Prado had had its day. Poor old girl had done a lap including the Cape and Tassie. Even the rattles rattled on the thing. Should have lasted longer I suppose, But I did not know then what know now courtesy of this awesome forum. Nothing wrong with you Happygu. You're just abit one eyed like I am now. I love the white. (wifey not so keen)

Sorry Mullet_hunter and Rossko haven't been on for a while. Kind of got caught up on other things. Drawers not sure but they came out of the Prado we had with very few mods as did the cage. Shelf is home made and cargo barrier is a shorted Prado one.
